Tether is the third-largest cryptocurrency in the world — but USDT is deliberately designed to stay worth roughly $1. So how on earth do you actually get rich from it?

In today’s Daily Crypto Deep Dive, we break down one of the most misunderstood businesses in crypto. We explain why simply buying USDT won’t make you rich, how Tether itself has generated billions of dollars from the enormous pool of assets backing USDT, and why its huge exposure to U.S. Treasury bills has turned a supposedly boring stablecoin into an extraordinary financial machine.

We then answer the question investors actually care about: how can ordinary people put stablecoins to work?

We look at USDT lending, DeFi lending markets, liquidity provision, market-neutral strategies, funding rates and basis trades — and explain exactly where the returns come from rather than pretending high yields are free money.

We also look at the risks. Counterparty failures, smart-contract exploits, unstable yields, leverage and the crucial difference between holding USDT and handing that USDT to somebody else in return for interest.

And perhaps the biggest lesson from Tether is this: getting rich doesn’t always require finding an asset that goes up 100x. Sometimes enormous wealth is created by earning relatively ordinary returns on an extraordinary amount of capital.
